Funny thing about that Dinner Table... We use to never really sit together at it until just recently. My eldest child, bless her heart, has been on eternal groundation lately or at least that what it seems, Ha! Anyways, because of this, probably out of boardum she started helping me out with dinner more and more and then she decided that we were going to sit at the dinner table as a Family! What? I mean don't get me wrong we do sit there on occasion but for the most part, William and I sit in the living room by the TV, I know horrible parents that we are, and the kids sit at the table or by the TV as well. Sooooo..... for the last few weeks we have ate just about every meal together at the dinner table. Can I just say how very much I LOVE this!!!! And WE all do! If we don't for whatever reason the kids get upset by it. I am enjoying it so very much. We talk... even if it's about the silliest of things, we are trying to learn table manners. Which has been a fun learning experience for ALL.. Even dad who has had the privilege of doing dishes a time or two as punishment for burping at the Family Dinner Table. Which by the way the kids absolutely LOVE! he he he.... Mom has no problem with this rule so I'm good... Just saying! Anyways, a few weeks back we were discussing the fact that some of us were getting tired of the same old food that mom cooks. Yadda Yadda... So we decided that every Monday would be "New Meal Monday". Each person would take turns and go online or go through a cook book, however they choose and pick a meal we've never had. This has been really Fun! So last Monday we had Orange glazed Talipa and then yesterday Hailey chose the Spaghetti Pie, which was absolutely Delicious! The fish was really good too! But so far the Spaghetti Pie has been the favorite. I'm telling you the kids are loving this. They can not wait for their turn. Next week is Lauren's turn. She's so excited. I guess I will have to post each week what we have since so many of you wanted the recipe. I will try to do that. Unless it's yucky! He he he... I guess what I really just wanted to share is there's just something about the Family Dinner Table that is so special. Ya know... before too long, I'll turn around and my time with the kiddos will be done and I'll be wishing I had some kids plates to fix. Sometimes I forget that! I get so wrapped up in all I have to do,get done and how tired I am that I forget just how little time I have with them. So lately I'm trying really hard to cherish these times like our Family Dinner Table because before I know it... it will be just William and I there at that dinner table. So I want to enjoy every minute that I can! I only wish we had done this sooner! There's just something to be said for the Family Dinner Table...."These are the Children God has given me, God has been good to me..." Genesis 33:5
